Got it without knowing what it was for on one toon, then got the task on another and sent it to them. Task didn't update by getting it off of parcel npc, dropping on ground and picking up, and shared bank. Charmed a mob, gave it the geode, invis'd, memory flux, and killed it and looted the geode and still didn't update. Location says All not DoD-only zones and I charmed it in Blightfire Moors. Repeated in Coranthus Creep with same results.

Finally tried to give to turn in NPC and it gives it back. Looks like you have to loot the normal way.

I have seen a lion. And not one of your crap *** queen of the jungle homoerotic *****-cat lions. A real lion, with fangs and horns and wings and ****. Don't pull your ******* wierd *** african voodoo hypnosis crap on me when you don't even know wtf you're talking about.

Yes, 70ish level zones. It's tradeable item though, so a low level toon can get it from various places and/or players to finish the quest at lower levels. It's used to make seal patterns that are used to make cultural seals for the slot 12s. Primarily it's for raiders although alot of the lower level stuff can be soloed by todays high level players.

"Artisan Gorion Telld'mare says 'I have heard about the most amazing thing from a new underground area that just opened up. There are these huge Geodes. Can you bring me one? If you do I will give you a new pattern book for some seals you can make for your armor."
